[Solved]Pacman can't find steam(and yes I read the other topics)

Question

To make it short, pacman really can't find steam.
Options I tried:
pacman -S steam
pacman -Sy steam
pacman -Syyu steam
pacman -Ss steam
And still got nothing.
Here's my last attempt at it:
$ sudo pacman -Syyu steam
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core                     112.7 KiB  49.9K/s 00:02 [######################] 100%
extra                   1763.0 KiB  30.5K/s 00:58 [######################] 100%
community                  2.3 MiB  74.2K/s 00:31 [######################] 100%
error: target not found: steam
Notes: I'm running arch on a VBox. Sorry if I sound cocky or anything but maybe it's my lack of sleep over this particular problem. Yes, I uncommented the multilib repo in pacman.conf.
Anyone got any ideas?

This worked for me. Found steam in the multilib repo when I properly uncommented the repo.
Though it's weird that steam can't be found in the community repo, only in the multilib repo.
$ pacman -Ss steam

# Repository entries are of the format:

# Include = IncludePath
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I'm currently grabbing the steam in the multilib repo and gonna test it once I finished grabbing it.
